The 3 Pronged Approachto Media/Cultural Studies who benefits
The media whos? • Who makes the stories? • Who legitimizes them? • Who distributes them? • For whom are they produced? • Who gets represented in these stories as ‘normal’? Who gets represented as “other”? and who is altogether left out of representation? • Who consumes these stories as fact? Who consumes these stories for pleasure? Who consumes these stories critically?
Who benefits? • Who defines what the culture understands to be “reality”? Whose “reality” is being represented? • Who/what is absent/disappeared, marginalized or set in opposition? To whom is this being told? • What are the core assumptions? Who benefits from this telling? What are the benefits? At what/whose expense? • How/Could this story be told otherwise? How do the absent/disappeared/marginalized define themselves? • How does this relate to my own experiences? • How/does this move me to change my thinking/acting/world?
